Michael Bequette passed away peacefully in his sleep on August 30, 2025, in the comfort of his own bed.
Beloved husband of Rina Bequette (Hettenhausen) for 38 wonderful years. Devoted father to Michael Bequette (Jessica), Rachel Bequette, and Mason Bequette; and a proud grandfather to Eleanor Bequette. Cherished son of Michael Bequette Sr. and Karen Bequette (Tustanowsky). Loving big brother to Sean, Dustin, Anthony, Shannon, and Kayla. Mike was a loyal friend to many, and truly a stranger to none.
For over 30 years, Mike worked proudly alongside his second family at Footwear Unlimited. He was deeply devoted to his family, his friends, his faith, and his spiritual community at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church. He held a special place in his heart for his ACTS brothers, who welcomed him with open arms.
Mike will be remembered for his infectious, boisterous laugh, his warm heart, and his unwavering love and acceptance of everyone he met.
We’ll never forget you, Mike—no matter what you think.
Visitation at Kutis Affton Chapel 10151 Gravois Rd. 63123 on Thursday, September 4 from 4-8 pm. with Funeral Service on Friday, September 5 at 10:00 am. Interment at Resurrection Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Vincent de Paul Church to support their ministry.
Rest in God’s arms my precious son.
